1991 b.c.e. Answer: It would seem tah all you do is subtract 4000 from the present year (2009 - 4000 = 1991), then tack on the BCE to indicate it is before the Common Era. However, consider what happens if you ask what year was 2009 years ago. By the same logic 2009-2009=0 so the answer is the year zero. There is no year zero so the answer would be 1 BCE. So the answer to the initial question would be 1992 BCE
